Free Peach Basket VS.. Return Peach
Basket.

This was the issue presented fairly
and squarely at the New York meeting
of Receivers held in that city Tuesday.
April 18th. 1t was not all free
baskets" There was an issue. OF
course many, perhaps most of them,
stuck to the free baskets, but there was
opposition. There was a good deal
more than the ripple made by the cast
ing Of stone on the peaceful lake.
James Anthony was present at the
meeting. He says it was a large and
animated gathering. Boston had her
representatives there, so that the New
ork and Boston receivers could fully
compare notes. Mr.. Anthony was
called on TO express his views on the
free basket. He told them that the
DelaWareans were not shouting for free
ba kets that even if he was i'm favor of
It, it would amount to nothing, as the
peach growers here were united sOlidlv
for the return Of their baskets, and that
they would submit to nothing else. He
also told them that they proposed to
give away our berry crates as well as
baskets. They said: ooh! no. We
don't think of that-no such thing
Ihey nave abandoned that idea already.
80 too they will have to abandon tn
free basket
Mr.. Anthony then said, you propose
to take the baskets aud charge 10 per
cent. commission, as formerly. and 4
cents carriage. They replied, we don't
mind doing the business for less. We
Will sell for Z per cent. and charge 3
cents for carriage. Here is another

back down, which will be to return our

THE death of Bishop Lee, not so
much for the loss Of the Bishop but the
loss of the man, has caused profound
sorrow throughout the State. A com
binatiOn of such rare and sterling vir-
tues is rarely found. He lived above
the multitude and was but little inau-
enced by them even in minor matters,
and never as affecting his course on
great issues. He framed his life, as
God spake to him through his revealed
word. For this reason he could stand
and has stood alone, as in the dark
days of the Rebellion he planted him
self firmly for the Union and the ina
lienable rights of man when his clergy
and laity were almost wholly against
him. The surging passions of men had
no more influence in controlling his
actions than their vociferatiOns had in
influencing his judgment. The lOneli-
ness of his position could be known
only to himself and his God, but with a
soul as sensitive to divine impress as
his, "GOd and one was always a ma
jOrity." With this singleness of pur-
pose he was always strong; and he
moved and controlled others with an
unconscious power. 1t was this high
character that made him exalted among
prelates, and gave him name that was
reverenced in life and mOurned after
death.

A Handsome Home.

The improvements on the property
of A. Lee Cummins to which allusions
have been made on one or two Occa-
slons in their progress, were completed
on Saturday. They have been radical,
complete, and we might add, attended
with considerable outlay of money.
The house, (the home of his ancestors
running back several generations) was
partially Obstructed by a close board
fence dividing the yard or yards in
front, while another fence in the rear
separated the yard from the garden.
these are all removed, and there is no
fence now but the substantial iron one
that enclOses the whole on the line of
the pavement. The house thus stands
out IN a clearness of outline that it
could not heretofore have. But the
changes have been greater on the in
side than the parts of the premises
more exposed to the public view
handsomely fitted up dining room, tiled
lire place surmOunted with high beau
tltul carved wood work on one side of
this in similar work is a china closet
and the other a stationary Washstand
protected by pOrtiere as is also the
cOlOnade that separates it from the
kitchen. There is also between it and
the latter that which delights every
housewife, a cOmmodious storeroom.
Other changes in the way of a large
back porch, connecting doors, &c, add
greatly to the comfort and convenience
OF the lower part of the house. Some
changes have likewise been made in
the upper rooms, the most conspicuous
OF which is a Library, or gentieman's
private parlOr, where he can lounge,
smoke or take a very comfortable
siesta. AT the side of this is the family
sitting room, furnished with all the
appointments for comfort, from the
spacious bay window of which there is
a commanding view of the street, up
and down. The parlor and all the
other rooms are richly and newly fur
nished, which with appropriate orna-
ments and beautifully curtained win
dows completes in realization for the
bride and future mistress of the house
that which flashes across the disk of
vision in the day y-dreams of every
maiden in the heyday of her youth.

is matter which in future years will be
recalled with flattering encomium to
his memory by many of those who
make q study of these matters.
DR.. Jacob Todd, in Grace NJ. E.
Church on Sunday said:
To say that bishop has fallen con-
veys but small part of the awful truth.
Alfred Lee was much more than a
bishop. He was one of those rare
spirits who dignity any position to
which they are called, and leave the
Office more honorable for their having
filled it. The church can easily make
another bishop, but only God can
make another man like Alfred Lee.

it requires only few minutes for the
troubled waters to become calm again
and the waves to roll on as though
nothing had happened. But when
some jutting prOmOntOry sinks down

gone, and the navigator is bewildered
not knowing just where he is or how
to steer his course.

Bishop Lee.

Bishop Lee, whose death was on-
nounced in our last issue, was buried
IN the cemetery of the Old Sweed's
church on Friday, witnessed by crowds
OF mourners. Nine Bishops and a
great many distinguished clergymen
from Otherplaces were present. SMYRNA
was represented by Rev. w. b. Gordon
and Col. Geo. w. Cummins. The fol-
lowing extracts show some of his prom
inent characteristics
During the war Bishop Lee was a
most ardent Union man. He talked
loyalty to the Union on all occasions
and preached it from the pulpit. He
was prominent in encouraging the for
nation of Delaware regiments and in
every way he could aided the govern
ment. He stood almost alone in his
church.
Bishop Lee was president Of the Ex-
ecutive Committee of the Delaware
Association for the education of colored
people, and took a prominent part in
the work of the sciety,
From Maine, TO Los Angeles,
and from the British provinces to
Mexico, Bishop Lee was known as the
strOng ana lmmOVable fortress of dis
tinctive evangelical professionalism, or
as it is known in the Episcopal church,
lOw-churchism.
There was no need of the deceased
preiete posing aggressively as an op-
ponept 70 Tjtpalism. Bishop Lees
views We're well understood and in his
presence or jurisdiction none offered
contrary opinions. He ruled bv his
oYp gentle individuality. The COM

The Late Bishop Lee.

Among the resolutions of the Stand
ing Committee of the Diocese of Della
ware, adopted on the occasion of the
death of Bishop Lee, we find none re-
quiring the churches TO be draped in
the usual en,blems of mourning. 1t
must have been an oversight. There
are several reasons why these tokens
of grief should not have been omitted
He was the first Bishop of Delaware ::
served the church faithfully through a
long episcOpate. He was the Presiding
Bishop of the whole church in the
United States. He was distinguished
patriot during the war of the Rebellion.
1t does seem that the very least the
churches can do in memory of so great
and good a man is to drape their
church buildings for thirty days. B.

Letter from Kenton

The Mark Twain Lyceum." which
has been successfully operating nj this
place for three months past. will close
on the 20th inst, with a literary enter
tainment, and will be open to the pub
hc Tor the admission fee of ten cents for
each person. There has been a Dro-
gramme made out carefully by com
mlttee appointed for the purpose. con
slsting of farce, charadr, dialogue. rec
ltatlOns, and instrumental and vocal
music, dialect, stump and negro
speeches by persons having some ex-
perlence and success as amateurs. The
" Wallace Bruce Lyceum of Downs
Chapel has promised the assistance of
several of its members, and we have
every reason to predict that the enter
tainment will be a success. A speciaI
feature will be music on the harm bv
Dock. Massey. The Lyceum will re-
open about the middle of November
next.
The incorporation of Kenton will in
all probability be deferred for two
years. The bill, 1Vith the amendments
which the people of Kenton did moi
want, was returned to the Senate non
concurred in by the House, where it
VIII sleep the balance of the session
There was not an amendment inserted
in this bill by DR.. Cooper that did not
emanate from motives Ofspite or motive
of self interest. Two wears ago. with
out the consent of a majority of the tax
payers of District No. 9, DR.. Cooper
engineered the bill for a new school
house. This time, against the wishes
of five-siXths of the tax-pavers of the
place, he has presumed to dictate
amendments which virtually renders
the bill of incorporation of no use. His
hrst amendment erasing the name of
stephen Walker as a Town Commits
slOner and inserting in the place thereof
the name of John T. Poore is an evil
dence of his spite and his petty Der-
sonal malice against a man he had had
personal difficulty with. His amend
ment to allow every one to nave with
any good material, Themselves IN 10
me- gudges, without the commissioners
having any Jurisdiction, was worthy of
man who places double row Of inch
planks along his sidewalk and rxu4,.t.
1t to meet the requirements uf -, in.
corporated town. Now word about
me former name of this place In 1906
Ihe Legislature was asked 10 change
the name to kentOn, which was done.
But when DR.. Cooper first came TO
Kenton he so far from being a model
whose example we might profit hv,
taught rather the opposite, aud if the
people had all been like him. when ,bs
name was changed the name of Gro.-
town would have been no misnomer

Where Happiness is to be Found

where happiness Is TO De round.
The Bachelors Club who set up
housekeeping this Spring in the Doctor
Cummins house seem to be living thus
far without care and vexatiOn, and in
full and plenty. The delicacies of the
season are theirs. Radishes of a crisp
pungency tickle their palates before
the common lot of mOPtals have their
springing from the ground. And there
are the ppetizers-those nicely sea-
seasoned salads and last week they
were luXuriating on strawberries, and
strawberries (best quality are only
selling in the city market for 100 per
quart. This is all very we'll when life
is young, and gay and happy. But
there is no life that has so complete a
revolution in it as that Ofthe bachelors,
and later on they find it so. No al
chemist who ever sought through dill
gent years for the elixir of life" was
doomed to greater disappointment than
the confirmed bachelor. 1t is no Syren
song that lures to the welded life.
Nature and revelation both point it out
as the true road to happiness, and if
the men of mature life want to be use
full as well as happy let them seek part
ners who can smooth their sorrows of
the later life as we'll as sew on their
buttons. If our young friends above
referred to could see it in this light,
there are enough of them to take up
nearly the available space on Mount
Vernon street.
